This edition, a fourth printing from November 1964, includes translations by Leif Sjöberg and W.H. Auden, with a foreword by Auden himself. The book offers philosophical and spiritual reflections, making it a significant work in understanding Hammarskjöld's inner thoughts. The volume is bound in hardcover, consistent with the publisher's Borzoi Books series. While not a first edition, this printing is a valuable piece for collectors interested in mid-20th-century philosophical works.
